Thank you @Vic Liu for the 10 points.

Question: How is the format/point format for the team competition?

The COVID-protocol for the championship has been presented and one of the major points in the document is that all players and team staff members must be fully vaccinated or currently recover after a COVID-infection (immune period). https://www.ihf.info/media-center/news/spain-2021-covid-19-precaution-plan-released With only 18 days left to the championship begins, this could affect some teams. Here I think some African teams could be affected by this regulation as their countries' vaccination program are maybe not in full effect yet. A question would also be what is meant by fully vaccinated? Is getting the vaccine some days before the start of the championship enough or must participants also wait 14 days before the vaccine is fully in effect? We will see how these regulations will affect teams when we come closer to the start of the championship.

@Quasit Will there be a quiz round tonight, now that the TISC Grand Final has been moved till tomorrow?

You are welcome, buddy.

@hckošice I can help you. You are correct that the answer is Cote d'azur. It's the blue area in the bottom of the track. I guess that is why it's named Cote d'azur.

Zimbabwe Oliver Mtukudzi - Mutserendende "Mtukudzi was widely known for his contribution to the history of Zimbabwean music. Known to his fans as Tuku, he was a cultural icon for the southern African country. He was also a businessperson, activist, philanthropist and a goodwill ambassador for Unicef in the southern African region. But it was his innovative music that made him deeply loved. His music was dubbed “Tuku music” and it was a blend of southern African music traditions ".

Belarus Akute - Sviaci Pt. 2 "Akute was formed in 2008 in Mogilev, Belarus. The musical side of the band is influenced by the band, New Order, The Cure, Placebo, The Killers and Interpol. Lyrical side – Inspired from literature by Asimov, Bradbury, Strugatskys and other science fiction writers from the 20th-century, enhances by the melodic charm of the Belarusian language".

I pick and for the Festival of Music. I originally planned to pick , but @dcro was faster than me.

Amazing run, @mrv86! Congrats with being the first Totallympics Quiz millionaire!

I did watch this show when I was a kid and I remember loving it. The theme song was awesome. Okay now to the discussion. The problem is that I watched the tv-show in Danish, so... None of these names sound familiar to me. I have a feeling they are all inspired by historical theater people and my knowledge is not really great when it comes to that. I honestely have no idea because all of the names are closesly related and it would be an unqualified guess from my side. I don't know why this is my reasoning but my guess would be either B or C as they relate to French names and maybe there are two here so you would have to remember which one of them it was. But that reasoning is not very solid I'm very sorry I can't be more of a help on this final question, but I can't remember anything related to this. Sorry.

@Quasit I would like to provide my help as an expert lifeline for tonight. Specialties: Politics (European politics and International politics), History (European/Western History from 15-century and forward), Music (Broad, but especially rock and metal), Geography (Flags and countries), Animals (All, but less when it comes to insects), Film/Tv (Horror) and Food/Cuisine (Broad knowledge).

Votes have been sent. The top 6 was settled after the third listening. The rest of the top 12 was, as usual, very difficult to decide. But after many listenings my top 12 was finally set.

Athletics sprinter, Alex Quiñonez, has been found dead at the age of 32. Cause of death is according to official sources due to gunshot wounds.. Quiñonez won bronze at the 2019 World Athletics Championships at the 200m distance. https://olympics.com/en/news/olympic-sprinter-alex-quinonez-found-dead-in-ecuador

Two listenings done and the first 12 songs have been eliminated. Down to 24 songs and handful of them will likely be eliminated in the third listening. For the first time since in my participation in TISC, I don't have a clear number 1 song for 12 points after two listenings.

Here is Youtube playlist with all the songs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLICNv5ge4lvdJgg2S6XyVn1C3_tKZt7n7

Denmark The Danish Jury has after a long and thorough selection process chosen the folk band, The Rumour Said Fire, with the song "The Balcony". The Rumour Said Fire is a Danish band that was founded back in 2008 by singer, songwriter and guitarist Jesper Lidang. "The Balcony" was the breakthrough song for the band back in 2009. The same year the group won the P3 Guld prize in the category, "The P3 Talent of 2009" in Denmark. I hope you will all enjoy this year's Danish entry for TOISC 2021.
